This is a wonderful little game, with an upbeat story about growing up and choosing how to spend your life. The characters are charming and likable and there is a varriety for optional romantic encounters. Combat is more puzzle-like, you need the correct items to beat our opponents and time their use. Most of the game revolves around planning your day. You have only a limited amount of time for classes, training your skills, exploring your surroundings and helping (or not helping) your fellow students. This can be overwhelming at first, but once you are able to plan your school-day, you will be the king of Hero-U. You should also take notes from the dialogue, because there will be tests, where this knowledge will be useful. Sometimes there won't even be straight answers, so somtimes you have to read between lines. If you hate stuff like this or reading in general, this game is not for you. Reading is half the fun of this game. The environments and music are also wonderful, although the 3D-Modells look a bit off, especially when your character starts running. Also in addation to the story: again, this is a game about growing up, so this will be a personal and not an epic journey. The game is about your relationship to the characters and how you choose to interact with them. They are the plot. If you need a tight three-act-structure, this game is not for you. There are some darker scenes, but overall I would think that the game is still also suitable for younger players, who just need some patience and curiosity for learning the games mechanics and finding all the secret locations it's hidding. And if you are curious yourself and ready to be curious, this game is also for you.
